[Oh, so he wants a history lesson, huh... Lorenz is quiet for a moment, just to think of where to start.]
The Alliance's neighboring countries, the Adrestian Empire and the Kingdom of Faerghus, started a conflict of their own while we were at school. The Kingdom had once annexed the Alliance, and my family's territory borders the Empire... I fought for the continued safety and independence of the Alliance.
[He honestly couldn't say what the rest of the war was even about. Dragons? Cults? Ancient beings somehow brought back to life? The last year of the war got more muddled than it was worth.]
As for the war's origin, it was an effort to dissolve the reliance on Crests— an inheritance of noble lineage. They provide unique advantages, occasionally, but many nobles value them too highly.
[Standard rich people stuff, unfortunately.]
The Crest system has been abused by those with ill intentions, to be sure, but the malice comes from nobles with an unbridled lust for power. The Crests themselves simply are. Still, I can't say the conflict wasn't inevitable.
